"Mina, we have a problem."
My heart dropped hearing those words and I quickly set my fork down and went outside on the balcony to talk in private. Lin watched me go, concern etched on her face. I closed the sliding balcony door and sank into the soft cushions of the outdoor furniture.
"What's going on Corey? What happened?" I pulled my knees to my chest and gazed over the city skyline, a warm summer breeze making strands of my curly blonde and pink hair float lazily around my face as I steeled myself for bad news.
"They don't have anymore Pepsi at the shop." He said sadly. "What?" I asked, confused. "They're out of
Pepsi at the shop we're at."
"That's all?" I asked incredulously, "YOU HAD ME WORRIED YOU DICKHEAD." I yelled as he laughed into the phone, and I heard Red's cackle. "I THOUGHT SOMEONE DIED OR SOMETHING!" I screamed angrily, setting off another round of laughter. Through a fit of giggles Red explained that Corey had picked her up a few minutes ago and they were now on their way to pick up Bea. After a few more jokes, and a lot of laughter from Corey and Red over their prank, they hung up. Taking in the sudden silence that hung over me, i breathed in a deep breath, closing my eyes for a few seconds. Exhaling, I looked up, noticing the sunset for the first time.
The New York sky was a complex tapestry of pastel soft yellows, oranges, pinks and purples, and the beauty of it hit me suddenly. As i gazed at the sky I felt an intense pang of loneliness in my side. I wanted someone to share this moment with, and other moments like this one. I'd never had a boyfriend or girlfriend, which didn't bother me much before, but suddenly I found myself longing for someone I could confide in about anything, and with whom I could share these small perfect memories with.
when I was in 9th grade I had been at some house party someone much older than us had thrown and we definitely weren't supposed to be at. The house was big and large and full of loud music, flashing lights, and packed with people laughing drinking, and playing beer pong. There was a group of us grade nines who'd been wandering around together in a pack to avoid getting lost in the sea of people.
After a while we made it out to the backyard and started playing spin the bottle, cliche I know, but we were pretty bored. When the bottle finally landed on me it pointed across from me to a girl named Caitlyn who was in my Spanish class. She had deep brown eyes that glowed fiercely in the low lights of the party, and a bright blinding smile.
Red, who had been at the party with me tried to argue that we shouldn't have to kiss because it's always a boy and a girl, but most people in the circle said that we had to because the bottle had chosen. I was secretly a little excited to kiss her though, not that I'd say that out loud. As i leaned into her I smelled her peachy shampoo and gazed into those beautiful eyes. As her soft lips touched mine the whole world melted away, and it was just Caitlyn and I, lost in a world of our own.
The speakers were still blasting the loud upbeat music but it felt far away, muted. All I could focus on was the the taste of her lips on mine, and the feeling that went along with it. And oh. Then she suddenly my pulled away, scrambling back from me. The breeze ruffled my hair, as it brushed across my skin I realized the flush that spread across my cheeks.
A loud "ewww" rose up from the circle around us. I looked up, startled. I'd honestly forgotten the others were here I'd been so lost in that other realm of just her and me.
A couple of guys laughed, as if they couldn't believe we'd actually done it. As
she stood up to go she wiped her mouth on her sleeve and curled her lip as she glared down at me. "How was that?" One of her friends asked in a mocking voice. "Shut up." Caitlyn said throwing one more disgusted look in my direction before stalking off into the night, her friend hot on her heels.
I sat around the circle for a few more rounds of spin the bottle trying to wipe away the tears welling up in my eyes before anyone saw them. As soon as I could I mumbled some excuse to Red about needing to use the bathroom and stumbled off in a daze. I barely made it to her bathroom before I burst into tears. After a while Red found me and sat with me on the cold tiled bathroom floor while I wept.
It was that night that I discovered two things. The first was that I liked girls and guys. The second discovery I made was how much heartbreak hurts. The was Caitlyn had looked at me made me feel like less than nothing, and it hurt like hell. After that night I vowed to guard my heart fiercely and that I would never have to feel that way again. However, after years of this I'd come to long to date someone, to feel those things that I had in the brief kiss Caitlyn and I'd shared.
I sighed and stood up, stretching my arms up and behind my head. Dwelling on those memories did no one any good, and besides, I had things to do. With one last glance at the skyline I pulled open the balcony door and slipped inside.
